2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, February 8, 2002

This review is from: Celebrity Skin: Tattoos, Brands, and Body Adornments of the Stars (Paperback)

It has nothing but pre-published photos we have all seen before in magazines. The tats aren't even shown. They talk about how Angelina has a lot of them but they don't even list them all. Not made for the true tattoo enthusist. A coffee table book at best. It describes their crazy childhoods more than the tats.

1.0 out of 5 stars totally dissapointed, September 13, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Celebrity Skin: Tattoos, Brands, and Body Adornments of the Stars (Paperback)

1st you can't see any of the tattoos, the photos are blurry and the descriptions of the tattoos are either incomplete, wrong or just not there. It was more like a copy of The National Inquirer on what the stars like to eat for breakfast. It had nothing to do with tattoos or what they mean. I was really dissapointed and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Celebrity Skin needs more to really shine, August 19, 2002

By 

Rae Schwarz "post-modern Renaissance woman" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Celebrity Skin: Tattoos, Brands, and Body Adornments of the Stars (Paperback)

Celebrity Skin by Jim Gerard gives the reader just what it says: skin. The collection, while titled with a body art slant, looks more like a group of celebrity photos where everyone just happens to have some body art, rather than focusing directly on it. Many of the tattoos could have been showcased more if the portraits had been posed for that purpose instead of being collected from previous publications. Written material about the celebs and their tats is of mixed length and quality. Overall, this is more like a book of celebrity tattoos for the dentist's office, and not a great addition to the tattoo library that it could have been.
